We loved stories about his life, his enviable care-free attitude, and an exceptionally positive outlook on, well, everything. Our talk was full of quips and one-liners, but came down to one thing: not missing an opportunity. If you every wanted to do something, anything really, here’s Kirk’s advice…START!

Our chat with Kirk was immensely entertaining and insightful, and we hope you can take just a few lessons and quotes with you. We sure did. Enjoy this episode of The GoSeeTalk Podcast Experience!
